    I mainly work on Toyota and Honda products. Looking for a trim tool kit for removing engine under cover clips and door panels. Would the “dished tip” be of any benefit to me...

    Hein-Werner HW93642 Rebuilt Kit Assistance

    I have a HW93642 Floor Jack from the late 2000's that no longer pumps up; I assume it needs a rebuild. During my search for a rebuild kit, I am coming across two different part #'s: 240530 and 248949. Both kits claim compatibility with the HW93642 but I have been unable to find an OEM catalog...

    Torque Wrench Checker

    I recently paid $125 to get my 3/8" dr TechAngle inspected and calibrated (if-needed). Snap-On wanted extra coin for the certificate, so I never found out if the calibration was even necessary...

    Coolant Vacuum Fillers: can too much vacuum cause damage?

    Looking to upgrade my cooling system vacuum filler to a dual venturi model. The manufacturer designed this unit for HD trucks with large cooling systems but states it is also ideal for EV cooling systems which have long runs. Is there any potential harm for using this type of tool on smaller...

    Astro Pneumatic vs. VIM Chrome Sockets

    Looking to add a set of extra-deep 3/8" dr chrome sockets. VIM is 2.25x the price of Astro -- what makes them worth the extra coin? https://www.tooloutfitters.com/10-pc-3-8-dr-extra-deep-6pt-socket-set-10-19mm/ https://www.tooloutfitters.com/10pc-3-8-drive-extra-deep-metric-socket-set/

    Nepros Sockets

    Did a search but was only able to find limited information on their ratchets; no info on the sockets. On paper, their chrome sockets are slightly more compact than Snap On, but not quite to Koken Z series level. Curious if they are worth their asking price....since some items are getting...

    Countersink on External Torx Plus Sockets

    It was recently brought to my attention that most of Snap-On’s External Torx Plus sockets contain a countersink. Snap-On says the countersink is required for proper engagement of “low-profile” External Torx Plus fasteners. I have attached a copy of the Snap-On literature that illustrates this...

    TTC: Walmart’s Hyper Tough 20V Max Brushless High-Torque Impact

    For $99 including battery and charger, I am tempted to buy one and leave it in the truck for roadside tire changes. Performance appears to be extremely comparable to the Gen2 Milwaukee High Torque.

    Matco Eighty8 Ratchet Head Depth

    Greetings, Does anyone know the "head depth" of Matco's Eighty8 ratchets? Matco's website does not list the info; I would like to know the head depth of their 1/4" and 3/8" drive ratchets before buying one. Thanks!

    Snap-On Roto/Swivel Head Changes?

    Tire Spoons: drop-center or curved?

    Recently purchased a Beadbuster XB-452 for the sole purpose of replacing TPMS sensors at home. So far, I have tried it on one tire and it worked well. However, it'd be nice to have a tire spoon to move the tire bead past the sensor for easier sensor removal. For this task, should I be using...

    Offset Handle Ratchets

    They appear to be an inverse of the old-school “spark plug ratchet.” Truthfully, I did not know this existed. I can see this design being useful for some repairs. Does anyone use this style of ratchet on a regular basis?

    Icon Ratchets vs. Gearwrench 90t

    Looking to purchase a set of flex-head ratchets (1/4, 3/8, 1/2") for a mobile tool kit. I prefer soft-grip ratchets. I am considering the GW 81298t kit, but noticed that Icon has similar ratchets at the same price point. I haven't been following the ratchet scene in recent years, so would...
